Hud Secretary: Immigrants and Carson

hud secretary: There were other immigrants who came here on the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less, Carson said as he walked across a stage holding a microphone, according to Brandon Sun. Carson later that night called slaves involuntary immigrants on a radio show. Carson, who was confirmed as HUD secretary last week and is the only black member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet, was talking about the work ethic and dreams of immigrants who came to the United States through Ellis Island in his first speech at the department. Slaves came here as involuntary immigrants but they still had the strength to hold on, he said on Sirius XM's The Armstrong Williams Show. Don't let anyone turn that into something bad. That requires a tremendous amount of toughness and will power and hope and faith and they had that, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
